During the conversation, Lee Sung Hun clearly denied any family connection to the former president. He described the internet as a place where wild rumours can spread quickly and felt surprised by how far the rumour had gone. Many people had become convinced of the link because of what they saw online, but his straightforward response has now put an end to the speculation.
For the unversed, the rumours started soon after the first few episodes came out. Fans noticed that the contestant, also known as Samuel Lee, seemed to share some physical traits with Lee Myung Bak, such as similar eye shape, lip colour, and even voice tone. Some online discussions pointed out these resemblances and spread stories around them. Claims suggested his mother might be the former president’s eldest daughter, a graduate from a top music school like Juilliard, and his father could hold a high position at a major company like Samsung Electronics.
Also, Lee Sung Hun has an impressive profile on his own. He holds a degree in computer science from the University of California, Berkeley. He has worked in tech roles at big names like Google and Amazon before moving into quantitative trading as a quant trader in New York City.
With this clear denial from the contestant himself, the rumour has been fully dismissed.
